Nightmare Night is approaching and every little filly is excited. However, two school bullies decide to take the scares a little too far. After a normal day at school The Cutie Mark Crusaders leave for their clubhouse, but are spooked by the two bullies Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They poke fun at them for how easily they can be scared, but they will not just sit down and take it, not this time. Scootaloo protests that they are brave, and in turn Diamond Tiara dares them to spend a night in the Old Abenine House claimed to be haunted by the ghost of a mad butcher. They accept, but at the same time they dare Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon to go in as well. Of course they accept, because they are indeed brave. Or are they? Because up ahead is a night where they will all soon experience what true fear really is.
